About the Product {as told by Essie}

An irresistible alabaster orchid that is DBP, Toluene and Formaldehyde free.

My Thoughts on Essie Urban Jungle

I feel this is a perfect beige-y, off white nude. It looks off white in some light, but has just that hint of the alabaster orchid color in other lights. I think this neutral would flatter a lot of skin tones and would be a great alternative to a stark, bright white nail.

Formula and Application

This is a crème matte polish. So, as you can imagine the first coat went on pretty sheer and streaky, just like light colored crème polishes tend to do. But, the second coat was all I needed to get to an opaque coloring on my nail.

Long Lasting Test

The polish lasted the pretty standard length for me. I had a bit of wear along the nail tips at about three days and once I got one big chip the next day, I changed my polish.

Where you Can Get it

I bought my bottle in-store at Kohls with a coupon and Kohls Cash, but you can also purchase it at Kohls.com, Essie.com, or on Amazon {which looks to be the least expensive option at the time of this post}.
